This is different from pirating. The government will be going after the developers like they did Kim Dotcom.

Speaking as a brazilian resident, the law will not be enforced. No such laws are ever enforced here. Everybody openly pirates everything, people sell retro gaming systems preloaded with thousands of ROMs openly online and in physical shops, and the government doesn’t even have 1% of the surveillance infrastructure needed to make enforcement attractive. The law is just electoral posturing and lip service to please evangelical idiots… but I repeat myself.

The amount of bootleg dvd shops I saw in Paraíba and the amount of friends that have uTorrent installed on their phones is more proof of that. I’m all for it, I wish bandwidth was better all around Brazil to make it easier for everyone to just download whatever you guys want, especially if it’s from an American company

Well, Portuguese is a Latin language, so there’s a common root.

Remember what the maintainer of The Pirate Bay once said?
Never be too certain something won’t be enforced, as the power of capitalists are far worse than the public can imagine.
Maybe I’m too pessimistic, but this may just be the start. Big corps may find their way to control every aspect, step by step.
